Information
acquired via America,
Was relayed by
the German war
Paper, the Deutsche Kriegszeitung -
A publication of Lakalanzeiger -
Regarding tactics
of the British Navy.
A hundred or so
obsolete boats -
Old passenger
steamers - bought
By actions of the
British Admiralty.
Whose work will
be to alter them -
To give them guns
and turrets made
Out of wood - to
form a dummy fleet.
These war vessels,
whose employ
Will be, to
mystify enemy submarines -
Once disguised
they will be weighted,
With stone and
cement, to take eyes
Of the Germans
from real vessels.
Deutsche Kriegszeitung newspaper,
Of the German
forces, further declare
How these false
ships will be sunk,
Along important
sea routes - in Danish
Waters and the
Belgian coast, in order
To constrict the
German war fleet.
